ART EDUCATION STUDY INSTITUTE KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY is please to offer PENNSYLVANIA PLATES: EARTHENWARE NARRATIVE. Students in this institute will be introduced to both the cultural and technical features of Pennsylvania “Dutch” Ceramic Earthenware, with a focus on drape-molded plates. Class enrollment limited to 15 students. Traditionally formed from readily available, hand-dug clay—the same clay used to make common brick—earthenware was the 19th century “plastic”. Surface decoration ranged from simple, quickly executed “ trailed” lines to elaborate commemorative “sgraffito” platters, including names, dates, and primitive graphics. The forming, firing, and decorative techniques pursued in the institute will accommodate both historical reproduction, and contemporary personal statements. Course field trips will include travel to the Lester Breininger ceramic studio for a hands-on demonstration and narration of his private earthenware collection, as well as to the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Pennsylvania German Heritage Center on campus will be used as a resource. STUDY INSTITUTE PROGRAM This particular ceramic institute focused on the surface treatment of “flatware” easily accommodates those with little previous ceramic experience. The institute will meet 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday from June 16 through 27. INSTITUTE FACULTY James Chaney, Faculty and Coordinator is a Professor of Ceramics at Kutztown University and holds an MFA in Ceramics from Kent State University. Jim has explored interpretive functional work, both through slip-casting and throwing, most recently firing his work in a wood fired Anagama-style kiln, constructed after study in Japan. His work is exhibited at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia. Lester P. Breininger Jr., is the recognized regional authority on Pennsylvania German earthenware. Traveling across southeastern Pennsylvania, as well as back to Germany, Lester has extensively researched Pennsylvania German traditions and crafts, particularly ceramics. Having received the Hazlett Award in the Arts from the Governor, he is a much sought after presenter and consultant. Presently a retired high school science teacher, this KU alumnus maintains a working ceramic studio in Robesonia, Pa. Dr. Robert Reynolds, is the Freyberger Professor of Pennsylvania German Studies at Kutztown University, and the director of the Pennsylvania German Heritage Center on campus. Presently, he is documenting and expanding the Center’s collection of historical Pennsylvania German cultural artifacts, including indigenous architecture, enhancing the Heritage Center as an instructional resource.

ART
EDUCATION STUDY INSTITUTE KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY is pleased to offer OMNIFARIOUS JEWELRY: USING AND JOINING DIVERSE MATERIALS. Omnifarious means “of all forms or parts”. This course will first explore materials beyond metals that can be found, appropriated and used in the creation of making jewelry and small objects, including plastics, wood, glass, rubber, etc. These explorations will include manipulation, additive and reductive techniques, and deconstruction. Secondly we will examine methods of joining these materials to each other and to metals and other substrates. Cold joining techniques (miniature nuts and bolts, riveting and glues...) will be investigated primarily along with soldering in the creation of small, intimate jewelry/objects. Concepts and ideas relating to both jewelry and materials will be considered. STUDY INSTITUTE PROGRAM This institute is designed to offer two full weeks (Monday June 16th through Friday June 27th, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) of hands-on intense workshops, lectures, seminars, small group and individual consultations.

ART EDUCATION STUDY INSTITUTE KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY is pleased to offer DESIGN THINKING: Introducing Product Design to arts education curriculum. Design Thinking is a way of integrating multiple elements into a project based learning experience. The ability to examine the world around us through active observation, using imagination and cognitive skills to decide how it could be changed, making that change visible through models drawings and plans, and engaging in critical discussion and critique is the basis of all design work. Class enrollment limited to 15 students.
We are surrounded everyday by hundreds of objects that were conceived in this manner. By using product design as a focus, students are encouraged to participate in the design process and learn to observe the environment and objects around them through the eyes of a designer and, through the principles of design thinking, find creative solutions in the forms of models and plans. Product design is widely recognized and there is a growing need for multi-skilled designers. It covers a wide spectrum of fields from engineering based, which places more emphasis on the technological aspects of design, or art based product design which focuses more on the aesthetic qualities. It can involve highly technical, technological or craft-based skills - often in combination. Product designers create solutions to problems, inventing new ways of doing things. Designed objects are solutions to people’s needs and desires. Design can be defined as ‘moving from the existing to the preferred’. Design makes learning immediately relevant by directly relating to real-life experience. This Institute is applicable to educators from a range of disciplines including all of the Arts, History, Social Studies, Business, and Science. Through the Institute, this course will include field trips to Product Design studios, where we will observe how designers conceive and actualize products for the market from limited editions to mass production; museum exhibitions of product design where Product Design curriculum opportunities will be explored; and hands-on projects to introduce Product Design into the classroom. Students will develop interdisciplinary curriculum concepts and a product-based project related to their content area. STUDY INSTITUTE PROGRAM The institute is designed to offer one week (Sunday through Friday) of lectures, seminars, group discussions, and hands-on activities as well as individual consultations. The institute will meet 3:00 p.m. through 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 6, and 8:30 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. daily, Monday, July 7 through Friday, July 11. The Institute will meet in Old Main room 25. INSTITUTE FACULTY Lyn Godley, Assistant Professor in the Department of Art Education and Crafts, has taught Foundation Design and Product Design classes at Kutztown University since 2004, and Product Design at Parsons School of Design in NYC since 1996. She has an MFA in Painting, and has had her own design company producing lighting, furniture, and product since 1984. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of arts and Design, the Jewish Museum, and the Denver Art Museum. NON-CREDIT OPTION $275.00 GRADUATE CREDIT FEES

Throughout the week, we will engage in a range of experiences from gallery activities, artist/curator talks, field trips, art making, and more--all aimed at fueling inquiry into the art of the story. All activities are designed to deepen understanding of the use of the narrative in art while developing new ideas, activities, and lessons for use in teaching. Emphasis will be placed on building connections to enduring ideas and contemporary themes through art criticism, history, appreciation, art making, and language arts.
